HOMESTEAD, Fla. (AP) — There will surely be elaborate permutations to show all the possibilities of what awaits this coming weekend at Martinsville, when six drivers will battle for the final two spots in NASCAR’s Championship 4.If this guy does this, and this guy does this, or this guy doesn’t do this … the scenarios are endless.So, perhaps a simpler mindset, like the one Denny Hamlin has right now, is the way to go.“Try to win it,” Hamlin said.That would work, too.NASCAR’s season has entered its next-to-last week, and good luck figuring out what might happen over the 500 laps around Martinsville’s tight oval this coming weekend. Only two of these six drivers — Hamlin, William Byron, Ryan Blaney, Tyler Reddick, Martin Truex Jr. and Chris Buescher — will emerge with a chance to battle Kyle Larson and Christopher Bell in Phoenix on Nov. 5 to win the Cup Series title.If any of those six win at Martinsville, they’ll have a shot at the title.

Phillies fans turn Citizens Bank Park into ‘4 hours of hell’ during Red October

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 10:59:58 GMT

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The wolfman mask is retired. Even without a costume, one of the founding fathers of the Wolf Pack — a band of Philadelphia Phillies fans that once commandeered a section of cheap seats at the Vet — still roots for his favorite team from a considerable distance.Patrick Wood slipped a bartender “a Euro or two” inside a raucous rugby Irish pub in Vienna around 11 p.m. local time, and soon one TV was flipped to a Phillies playoff game. The longer Wood and a buddy stuck around to watch, the more the beer drinkers and rugby fanatics that stayed deep into the night became absorbed by Phillies baseball.Kind of like back home.Wood, his brothers and cousins once formed one of Philly’s favorite fan clubs, howling, dancing, pumping their arms from section 739 — in 2023 jargon, about a Schwarbomb and a half from the plate — at the cold, concrete cookie cutter known as Veterans Stadium. The seasons were lean in Philly around the turn of the century — consider, a nondescript le...

(NYSE: COF) substantially expanding its market share lead in the Washington metropolitan statistical area over its closest rivals, Bank of America, Truist Bank, Wells Fargo and PNC Bank.Click through the gallery below to see which 15 banks hold the most deposits in the region and whether they gained or lost deposits over the past year.How Capital One was able to widen its lead is not entirely clear, but one explanation could be its home-field advantage. Those five banks control more than 68% of Greater Washington’s $298 billion in bank deposits, yet McLean-based Capital One is the only one of the group headquartered here. While it has a much smaller branch footprint than the others it arguably has more brand recognition, as its name adorns the downtown sports arena, a concert venue adjacent to its headqu...
